Founded in 1949 at the site of the former Firlands Tuberculosis Sanitorium, CRISTA Ministries (originally known as King’s Garden) has grown into one of the largest non-profit organizations in the Pacific Northwest and one of the most diverse not-for-profit service organizations in the world.
CRISTA’s five ministries serve the world in areas ranging from Christian education (King’s Schools, CRISTA Camps) to media (CRISTA Media) to poverty alleviation (World Concern) to senior care (CRISTA Senior Living).
Collectively, the ministries of CRISTA reach millions of individuals each year in over 200 countries around the world. The shared mission of CRISTA’s ministries is to fearlessly declare the Gospel with Biblical truth and love, leading generations to follow Jesus.
CRISTA’s 75th anniversary celebration will reach its peak on Saturday, November 16, with a Gala event at the Meydenbauer Center in Bellevue.

Stated CRISTA Ministries CEO, Jacinta Tegman: “At CRISTA, we call ourselves a family of ministries. And an extended part of our family has been the city of Shoreline and surrounding cities that we have been proud to call our home for 75 years and counting.
"We are thrilled at the opportunity to welcome families to our historic campus for a full day of fun on August 24.”

Not for profit!!! Hahaha
ReplyDeleteCrista charges $20,000 to attend their schools and charges the elderly $10,000 a month to live in their community. But sure, “not for profit”
Ah yes, Crista Ministries, owners of (amongst other properties) KCIS-AM 630. I used to listen to them for opposition research while they worked year-in and year-out to make me and my family more illegal. I particularly remember their weekday show, _Beverly LaHaye Live_, where Dr. LaHaye would do things like tell her listeners to make their "homosexual" children homeless, deprive them of any hope of support from anyone, to impoverish them and make them utterly destitute until they "repented" of their "sin of homosexuality."
ReplyDeleteI also remember those kids showing up on The Ave.
I'll be sitting out their "75th Anniversary Summer Fest."
Thankful for my 4 years @ Kings Garden! I was a worker's kid for 2 years, a dorm student for one & a day student for my senior year! My grandmother, Ethel Lane, taught there for years & passed away in the nursing home!
